Included in the photos in Jen Lilley's Instagram post were a screenshot of Theresa Donovan and Brady Black kissing, a shot of Theresa and Xander Cook talking, and a hysterical screenshot of her text conversation with Martsolf in which she confirmed with him that the first photo wasn't a scene from their episode, but rather them taking direction. Her caption continued, "And I had to throw in a screen cap of me and my buddy @paultelfer because I distinctly remember us not making eye contact in fear we'd burst out laughing at the horrible things our characters say to each other." In Lilley's interview with Soaps, she wouldn't mention who her recast was going to be, except that she knew her personally. Based on Internet chatter, our hunch is that it's Emily O'Brien, who currently plays Gwen Rizczech.
Ever the sweetheart and knowing how harsh soap opera fans can be over recasts, Lilley continued her Instagram thought saying, "Excited for all my #DOOL episodes this week and very happy for the lady taking over the role of Theresa. Be kind to her. She's a stellar performer and being a recast is super hard. We're all family and I got nothing but love for all my @dayspeacock people."
Lilley is clearly a class act, and it's been nice seeing her return, even if it's not going to last.
